The big global investment banks unfortunately suffer from grade inflation, so an Assistant Vice President (AVP) is very much a junior-ish middle management role. I'm former Deutsche myself and like the other IBs there were literally thousands of other VPs and similar numbers of AVPs, so I think this is a perfectly valid forum for veevee's question.

 

Unfortunately, there isn't much banking in Brisbane, besides the regional banks and smaller offices of the Ozzie national banks. You'd really need to look at Sydney/Melbourne for that sort of role. NAB and ANZ have some analytics roles in Melb, but Sydney would be your best bet. Deutsche have a big office block in Sydney, so an internal transfer might be a good bet.

 

If he has strong tech skills, there are some home grown international software houses in Brisbane, that specialize in financial markets. GBST is the most obvious example. Octopus deploy are another fast growing company, but they specialize in DevOps for financial applications if that would suit him.

Anything in WA, didn't find much in the way of financial sector in Perth ?

I'm not implying she (or he) is lying at all, I just thought that someone that's a assistant VP of a department within such a global company, with offices all around the world (including Australia), would be able to get that kind of information from within the company (HR etc).

 

You also don't tend to get to that position, without making contacts within the industry that can give advice.

 

I could be entirely off the mark of course

Deutsche bank has 1,000 employed in Australia in Sydney and Melbourne. I suspect they have very little in the way of back end IT, only local helpdesk support. Same as the company I work for, around 15,000 IT employees globally, 99% of our Asian IT is in India and China.

It kinda strikes me as odd that someone at that kind of seniority, is looking for this kind of information on a forum?

why ?

OP - there are a few job sites online that will provide your answer.
